No full textDocuments related to the case of The State of Texas vs. Timothy Davis, accused of "theft of (3) hogs from the possession of N. T. Avant," filed November 11, 1874. Documents are a bill of indictment signed by grand jury foreman John Collins, witness summons, an arrest warrant and bail note for Timothy Davis, and a document for the jury written by presiding judge M. D. Ector. Ector writes "the state has introduced no proof ... and there being no evidence against the defendant you will return your verdict in this form 'We the jury find the defendant not guilty.' " This verdict is written on the back of the bill of indictment

THE TROPHIC DYNAMICS OF SEA OTTERS IN SIMPSON BAY, ALASKA
No full textSea otters are generalist predators that feed on benthic megainvertebrates in littoral waters of the North Pacific. Because of their elevated metabolism, they consume up to 24% of their body weight daily and have a strong, top-down influence on invertebrate populations. Simpson Bay is a shallow, turbid, outwash fjord within Prince William Sound located in southcentral Alaska. Sea otters reoccupied Simpson Bay in the late 1970s, and the annual number of adults (~70 with a summer peak of 98) using the bay has been stable since 2002. The goal of this study was to measure the abundance and distribution of large bivalves relative to habitat type and then compare their abundance to annual consumption by sea otters. In addition, carbon flow in the bay was modeled for four trophic levels from primary production to sea otters. The seafloor of the bay is 33.1% mud, 45.1% mud-gravel, and 21.8% rocky substrate. The total fresh mass of bivalves for all species in Simpson Bay was 9.27 x 10^5 kg. Butter clams (Saxidomus gigantea) were the most abundant hard-shelled bivalve which occurred primarily in mud-gravel (76%) but also in mud. Stained macomas (Macoma inquinata) were the second most abundant bivalve which occurred almost exclusively in mud (91%). Together, these two species represented 71% of the bivalve biomass in the bay. The overall average numerical and mass densities of clams for the entire bay were 9.1 clams m^-2 and 47.5 g m^-2. Sea otters foraged on bivalves in proportion to their presence in the two benthic sediment types. The estimated annual primary productivity in Simpson Bay was of 132 g C m^-2 yr^-1 with a peak during the spring bloom of 720 g C m^-2 yr^-1. Carbon from primary productivity moved through particulate organic carbon and suspension feeding bivalves to sea otters. On an annual basis, about 3% of the carbon flowing to bivalves goes to sea otters which consume about 12% of the bivalve standing stock annually. This abundance of large bivalves has been sufficient to sustain a sea otter density of ~3.3 adult otters km−2 that has been stable for 17 years and probably longer
A high resolution geophysical investigation of spatial sedimentary processes in a paraglacial turbid outwash fjord: Simpson Bay, Prince William Sound, Alaska
No full textSimpson Bay is a turbid, outwash fjord located in northeastern Prince William Sound, Alaska. A
high ratio of watershead:basin surface area combined with high precipitation and an easily erodable
catchment create high sediment inputs. Fresh water from heavy precipitation and meltwater from high
alpine glaciers enter Simpson Bay through bay head rivers and small shoreline creeks that drain the
catchment. Side scan sonar, seismic profiling, and high resolution bathymetry were used to investigate the
record of modern sedimentary processes. Four bottom types and two seismic faces were described to
delineate the distribution of sediment types and sedimentary processes in Simpson Bay. Sonar images
showed areas of high backscatter (coarse grain sediment, bedrock outcrops and shorelines) in shallow
areas and areas of low backscatter (estuarine mud) in deeper areas. Seismic profiles showed that high
backscatter areas reflected emergent glacial surfaces while low backscatter areas indicated modern
estuarine mud deposition. The data show terminal morainal bank systems and grounding line deposits at
the mouth of the bay and rocky promontories, relict medial moraines, that extend as terrestrial features
through the subtidal and into deeper waters. Tidal currents and mass wasting are the major influences on
sediment distribution. Hydrographic data showed high spatial variability in surface and bottom currents
throughout the bay. Bottom currents are tide dominated, and are generally weak (5-20 cm s-1) in the open
water portions of the bay while faster currents are found associated with shorelines, outcrops, and
restrictive sills. Tidal currents alone are not enough to cause the lack of estuarine mud deposition in
shallow areas. Bathymetric data showed steep slopes throughout the bay suggesting sediment gravity
flows. Central Alaska is a seismically active area, and earthquakes are most likely the triggering
mechanism of the gravity flows

The pragmatic constructions of Deleuze, Guattari and Miles Davis
No full textThe aim of the following investigation is two-fold. Firstly, the project takes as its focus the growing corpus of secondary literature written on the work of the French philosophers and theorists Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, whose work has generated a great deal of
interest in recent years and a proportionate amount of controversy. Much of this controversy can be attributed to simplifications and misunderstandings on the part of
commentators who have in some instances neglected to approach Deleuze and Guattari with sufficent rigour and care, resulting in the perpetuation of so many misunderstandings regarding their work.
Secondly, the project will seek to redress some of these misunderstandings by recourse to a pragmatic embodiment of Deleuze and Guattari's concepts and ideas through a case-study based on the life and work of the African-American jazz musician Miles Davis. In attempting to provide a new and challenging case as the basis for this investigation, the overriding aim is to assess the pragmatic remit of Deleuze and Guattari's thought, in terms of aesthetics, ethics and politics, whilst remaining sensitive to the potential limitations and dangers of their project
